Willie ft. Roy Young Lyrics

It was a hot summer night

Lord we couldn't close our eyes

It was a hot summer night

Lord we couldn't close our eyes

An old woman's shout gave us a fright

She said Willie didn't come back home last night, no no

Willie used to hang out in the hood

And some of them were up to no good

They told him if he did this job tonight

He'd be a man, he'd be alright

His only sin was tryin' to belong

But that night it all went so wrong

Let me tell you

Willie was a good boy

He was a constant source of joy, yes he was

People used to say the trouble with the man

Was gamblin' his life away on a whim

But I thought he was just alright

But I'm sad to tell you, so sad

Willie didn't come back home last night, no
